Brimley's Breakfast

1 part oatmeal infused vodka
1 part cinnamon infused vodka
1 part honey vodka
3 parts apple cider

This cocktail reminds you of simpler times. When "Morning in America" went down smooth and creamy, and came out like toothpaste:

Sticky Floor

1 oz Lemon Juice
1 oz Honey
Ginger
2 oz Vodka

Mix equal amounts honey and lemon juice. Add some ginger if you like. Combine two ounces of this mixture with two ounces of vodka. Shake and serve up.

Honey Vodka

12 ounces honey
750 ml vodka


Jim came back from a trip to Poland with a jar of organic honey from the farm where his grandmother was born. This was some good honey. I thought he was wasting it when he poured several ounces into a quart jar and then filled the jar with vodka.

After shaking the jar for several minutes the vodka was a beautiful amber color. And the flavor was amazing. The vodka smartly highlighted the range of flavors in the honey.

This was the night of the final debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. I believe we drank every time we heard the word "middle class", but I'm sure we drank more often than that.
